Littlefoot

As you are probably well aware, one of the big draws to Ташкөмүр (in Жалалабат областы—pretty impressive, huh?) is the dinosaur fossils. In fact, the dinosaur is very important to the Kyrgyz culture. We have even printed dinosaur stamps. 

Well, because of this animal's cultural impact, there has been a bit of a backlash against the United States since Land Before Time (a recent backlash because of the Cold War; we just got a bootlegged, Russia dubbed version last). It's not that the typical Kyrgyzstani doesn't think that Don Bluth accurately portrayed the featured lizards, but that the death of Littlefoot's mother was all too tragic.

In fact, we are preparing for the 20th anniversary of the release of the original film—now to be hereafter recognized as a national day of mourning.
